The effect of different surface treatments on the bond strength of PEEK composite materials
TL;DR: The use of SE Bond/Clearfil AP-X™ after the surface of PEEK composite material treated with sulfuric acid or argon plasma can be recommended as an effective bonding method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial properties of nano-silver coated PEEK prepared through magnetron sputtering
TL;DR: The cytotoxicity and antibacterial properties of nano-silver-coated polyetheretherketone (PEEK) produced through magnetron sputtering are investigated and a theoretical basis for its use in clinical applications is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomechanical and bioactivity concepts of polyetheretherketone composites for use in orthopedic implants : a review
TL;DR: This study aims to review and discuss the recent concepts and contribute further concepts in terms of biomechanical and bioactivity challenges for the development of PEEK and PEEK composites in orthopedic implants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anisotropic mode-dependent damage of cortical bone using the extended finite element method (XFEM).
TL;DR: Anisotropic damage initiation criteria were developed for extended finite element method (XFEM) prediction of crack initiation and propagation in cortical bone and shown to accurately predict the dependence of crack propagation patterns and fracture toughness on mode mixity and on osteon orientations.

Patcharawan Silthampitag,Pisaisit Chaijareenont,Kittipong Tattakorn,Chaiyasit Banjongprasert,Hidekazu Takahashi,Mansuang Arksornnukit +5 more
TL;DR: Surface roughness, porosities and pitting from chemical etching, which suggested a significant influence on the adhesion between PEEK and resin materials, and the SBS of resin composite on PEEK were the highest in the group etched with 98% sulfuric acid and bonded with Heliobond(®) (p<0.05).

PEEK Biomaterials in Trauma, Orthopedic, and Spinal Implants
Steven M. Kurtz,John N. Devine +1 more
TL;DR: The extensive polymer science literature as it relates to structure, mechanical properties, and chemical resistance of PAEK biomaterials is synthesized to more readily appreciate why this family of polymers will be inherently strong, inert, and biocompatible.

The Comprehensive classification of fractures of long bones
TL;DR: The Diaphyseal Fractures of the Humerus, Femur, and Tibia/Fibula are classified into nine groups: Al, A2, A3, B1, B2, C3 of the Segments 13-, 21- and 23-, 33- and 43-.-
Journal ArticleDOI
Relations of mechanical properties to density and CT numbers in human bone
TL;DR: Modulus in the radial or circumferential direction could not be predicted from modulus inThe S-I direction for cortical bone, but could be predicted for cancellous bone, and specific relationships, depending on the types of bone, that predict elastic modulus from density and CT numbers were suggested.

Forces at the glenohumeral joint in abduction.
Poppen Nk,Walker Ps +1 more
TL;DR: The forces in the glenohumeral joint for isometric abduction in the plane of the scapula were determined using lines of actions of muscles, electromyographic data was used, as well as geometrical parameters of shoulder motion.

Displacement/Screw Cutout After Open Reduction and Locked Plate Fixation of Humeral Fractures
Kevin C. Owsley,John T. Gorczyca +1 more
TL;DR: The use of locking plates in the surgical treatment of proximal humeral fractures is associated with an unexpectedly high rate of screw cutout and revision surgery, especially in patients older than sixty years who have a three or four-part fracture.
